You wanted old, so you've got it - the oldest game in GOG's catalog to date, and the precursor to the acclaimed Elvira series - Personal Nightmare.
[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/personal_nightmare][/url]Personal Nightmare is a first-person perspective adventure game by , also known as [url=http://www.gog.com/en/search/sort/developer/Adventure%20Soft]Adventure Soft. In this game you're placed in the shoes of a young man who left his home village some time ago, and recently received a letter inviting him to visit. Concerned about the strange form in which the letter was written, he returns to the village, only to find out his father, the local pastor, is nowhere to be found and the whole place is nothing like he remembered, with everyone acting strange, sometimes even hostile. Soon he finds out there's evil at work there and he not only has to find his father, but also proof about what is really going on in the village.

I don't know if this release uses dosbox or scummvm, but I do know scummvm support is in the works, FYI.

Bought (within two minutes, anyway). No idea if it's any good (looks intriguing), but after getting two free games today (Ishar) it's the least I can do. Plus, the older the better. :-)

Yep it is. This would be better value packaged up with the Elvira games and maybe Waxworks as a compilation.

1989? Oldest game yet then, methinks.
Is it similar to Waxworks? I've actually bought, downloaded and installed that game, but still not played it.

It's the same company who made them and the same style of gameplay.

It's one of the greatest, hardest and scariest adventures of all time! A great release!

Now this looks deliciously old :)~
Does the game use a text parser, or is it interactive with the scene? (or both?). Hard to tell from the screenshots, as it looks like a combination.

This game kinda reminds me of Shadowgate. Is it anything like that?
Shadowgate was awesome, except for the time limit.

Should have said "smallest" as well as "oldest". On a KB to dollar ratio, this must be the most expensive game yet. 7MB. :P

Spacewar! would be sweet but is there a PDP1 emulator to run it on?

Yeah, and it comes with Unix.
(Yeah yeah, I know Unix had nothing to do with Space War, but still.)
